The Autozam AZ-1, known by the framecode PG6SA, is a mid-engined kei-class sports car, designed and manufactured by Mazda under its Autozam brand. Suzuki provided the engine as well as the inspiration for the design.[1]
Manufactured from October 1992 to October 1994, the AZ-1 was noted for its gullwing doors.[2] Power came from the same Suzuki-sourced 657 cc turbocharged engine used by the Suzuki Alto that produced 64 PS (47 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 85 N⋅m (63 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm.
Suzuki later produced its own badge engineered version named the Suzuki Cara (PG6SS).
